Outfit 6/8 Stripes and Fire Shoes

 

 

 

Can you tell from the first photo these pants are getting a bit too big on me? Most would say that's a good thing, but really... when you don't have the money to go blow on jeans, 

going through them so quickly is a little of a pain! haha.
Jeans are Amethyst brand from Debs. $7. Cheap, but you can tell. I can only wear these with shirts long enough to cover the front zipper, which falls down often. ;-)

 Shirt is GirlTalk, which I picked up at Buffalo Exchange while in Dallas.

 

 

Shoes:  Steve Madden

Bracelets: cheap kids beads (I have some stocked in every color for stacking)
Orange vintage bangle: thrifted

Ring: Craft fair. I wish I still had the business card, they sell on Etsy. (you can find something similar here)

Necklace: Thrifted. 

Last Thursday was my day off work to go pick my mom up to hang out. We went downtown thrifting, out to eat, and a few other fun places. This necklace was only $12! Completely perfect condition.

I absolutely HAD to have it. The beads are glass, the pendant is metal, and it's heavy.

Just now I went looking to find out how old this is. I know its vintage, but wasn't sure how old. Turns out that this $12 find is worth somewhere between $80-$120. bahaha. I scored!

KJL for Avon.
You can find a similar one for sale here.

Spragwerks

Did you keep up with the first season of Project Accessory? 

I'm not big on TV shows. I've never been one of those people who has to catch the newest episodes of their favorite show, or say "I can't go out tonight because I have to have the TV on at 8pm." It almost feels lazy to be that type of person. Almost like you're watching life go by for other people instead of living it yourself.

I made the mistake of turning on the TV on a Thursday night. 

It was the season premier of project accessory. I was dragged in. 

 

Very quickly I picked a few favorite designers. Both of them made it to the very end of the season. The girl, Nina, I picked mainly because of her awesome chain body harnesses she always wore.  I. seriously. love. them. The other, Rich, had a style that screamed to me. 

Very rough looking pieces. Metal work. Fantastic stuff.  His line is called Spragwerks.

Belt buckles that look like tail lights and break pedals. Rings fashioned into corests and wrenches.
Pendants sharpened into scissors and saws. 

 Not into jewelry? There are wallets, wine accessories, cheese knives, notebooks, and more. The whole brand carries a distinct style that can be seen in any of the pieces. Simple, yet detailed with an industrial feel.

Want to meet the guy behind the line I love so much? Everything can be bought online at spragwerks dot com. You can even read a little about him, his product, and how his background as a mechanic brought him into the word of jewelry.

Oh, and wondering what my favorite piece is? You can just go ahead and buy me this if you'd like.
